I know - I am such a slack blogger at the moment. I am however busy scrapbooking for my SILs 40th birthday - 60 layouts by the end of August takes up a lot of ones time !!!

Still I did play around with a delightful stamp set by Stampin up which -Ii bought after seeing so many lovely designs on Pinterest.

Here is my version - I love this stamp set !

Over at creative moments we were asked to play with flowers for this weeks challenge so this stamp set purchase was perfect. The colours I have used are crumb cake and raspberry ripple inks by stampin up. In fact everything I used is from stampin up this time even the little ticket stamps, punch, pin and twine !

Hope you are inspired by our flower theme to get creative - stop by and check out my team mates who are loving flowers too !

Hasn't it been utterly glorious! Beautiful blue skies and the warmth of the sun at last!

Well over at creative moments the theme is weather so what better excuse for a summer scene?

This was a free stamp with a set from creative stamping and just begged to be used in this simple technique. The colours are much more vibrant in real life but I just could not get a decent picture!

Here I have used an aperture card as a mask for another card. Inked through the aperture with a light blue (pool party), a yellow (summer starfruit) and a deeper blue (pacific point) I used a sponge to get the colour on then stamped over the top in black. The sentiment is stamped in pacific point and is from the freebie stamp set.
This is a Fathers day card - reminded me of holidays in Filey and as my Dad is no longer alive - wishing he were here is the right thing to add for him xx

We all find cards a bit trickier for the chaps in our lives so next Fridays stamping club aims to throw a few ideas in the pot. When I planned this I had some ideas in mind however when I began browsing my stamp collection I was amazed how many "men" stamps I actually had.

The stamp set here is by Tim Holtz which has not been inked before - shame on me ! I love how well they stamp and teamed with this fab Bo Bunny paper I was pleased with the outcome.

We usually only make 2 cards a session but I know I will be making many more samples than that.

Hope you are all fine and Dandy and most of all enjoying this gorgeous summer spell we are having.
